You are single-handedly documenting Australian community music! That performance was after my time, I moved to Sydney in 2011. I don't think my stint with the VCO was as early as 2006, per this FB post from them, but this is the trio of singers I played with.
Hold up a minute, I reckon I played there with the Victorian Concert Orchestra around 2010! We played with a few opera singers on a day that looked much like that one. I don’t suppose there are any other extremely distinctive shells like that one within 10 minutes of Leongatha? 😂

Imagine wanting to try something other than dairy and finding no soy milk or almond milk, only "legume water" or whatever the bureaucrats allow.
As for labelling changes being for farmers' benefit, pretty sure soybeans are grown by farmers, and the last thing they need is a forced labelling change.
No one is confused by names like "soy milk", which has been made fun of my whole life, only possible because people understand it's not dairy.
Would I swap back to dairy if the name changed? No, I don't like dairy milk. But it's not about me, it's about people who are thinking about alternatives.
The EU's impending #veggieburgerban will do nothing to support farmers!
The European Commissionand MEPs like Celine Imart are pushing this through under the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), but it's a distraction from the real issues farmers are facing.

One suspects the 32% has a lot of crossover with "never Labor" voters.
There are considerable advantages to party registration. Critics already call them a "party", so what would be the downside... They'd have no trouble maintaining the minimum membership, but would they lose volunteer enthusiasm if the candidate didn't feel so local?
A spread of vegan pizza probably doesn’t hurt when it comes to getting students along of an evening 😅
@weplanetaus.bsky.social welcomed Sabrina to speak at its 2025 conference for a panel discussion: The Future of Food is Brewed, Not Slaughtered! youtu.be/O3d8vsN-GYI
Obviously legumes rule, but what are plant-based meat substitutes like for the environment?
Impossible Beef’s environmental effects compared to slaughtered beef: - 69% less water (nice)
- 88% less GHG emissions
- 95% less land
Let’s make “alternative” proteins no longer alternative!
Super well-attended talk by Sabrina Woods, president of the UNSW Alt Proteins Project, affiliated with @gfi.org, heaps of interest on campus!
Animal farming is unfit for purpose — it’s inefficient, cruel in its intensity, and gives rise to new diseases (any fans of COVID-19 in the room?).
This is how you know you’ve made it!
It was a coincidence that I saw it, I was visiting a relative who had the latest issue on the coffee table, and I:
I do hope data centres don’t hoover up all the new nuclear power 😬
I think the government made a decision here: if they had restrictions on subsidies only for companies with interoperable systems, they wouldn't have had the shiny numbers and social posts.
If they *had*, the climate and consumer outcomes would've been better in the long term....

MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACTION!
We've halted the demolition of Tihange's cooling towers!
Why it matters:
✅ Prevents irreversible destruction of billions in clean energy infrastructure
✅ Keeps the door open for restarting Tihange 1 & 2
✅ Protects Belgium's energy security & climate goals
![Nearly half (48 per cent) of people either strongly or tended to support increased residential density in their own neighbourhood, up from 46 per cent last year and 44 per cent in 2024. About 17 per cent of people were strongly opposed to the idea, while 18 per cent were ambivalent.
Matt Levinson, the committee’s head of corporate affairs, said: “We’ve seen [support for increased density in people’s own suburbs] gradually moving up year on year, and the number of people who oppose it gradually declining.

This is what winning looks like.
The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) between Russia and the US expires this week.
Germany, Japan and South Korea are among a number of nations considering obtaining nuclear weapons for self-defence as US defence partnership becomes uncertain.
Our call for universal nuclear disarmament 👇
The Exceptional Hatred and Terror of Colonialism Photo of Uncle Herbert Bropho, Wadjuk Noongar elder. As I write this, it is Wednesday January 28t 2026. Two days ago, at an Invasion Day rally in Perth, a white man threw a bomb-an improvised explosive device covered with nails and metal ball bearings-onto the stage of a rally while Uncle Herbet Bropho spoke. It is pure luck that the device did not explode. 2,500 people were in attendance.
In case you missed it: a white man threw a bomb at an indigenous Elder on Invasion Day. He has not been charged with terrorism.
Isn’t it wild how we knew the names of the terrorists who attacked Bondi on the very same day? Pretty sure there were cameras outside their house by nightfall and a Domain article on the value of the house, complete with descriptions of the layout, by the next day.

Build wind and solar where it can displace some fossil fuels, but it can only go so far, so get started building nuclear too, so we're not sad in 15 years about our stalled progress.
Unfortunately, that was the advice for 15 years ago.
Installing wind turbines and solar panels is cool and necessary for the energy transition, but not sufficient.
We’ve had delays with the large spinning masses that provide system strength, so we can’t turn Eraring off.
The best time to build nuclear was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
The internet really came through on this one (but now you need 11 more likes).
I want to like this but you have 25 likes. I'll like if we get ten other pledges to like it.
Ten years!
A warm compress over the eyes could help. Have you come across Meibomian glands while reading about dry eye? They secrete a layer of oil that slows the evaporation of tears, but can get clogged. I promise this is accurate, I'm a microbiologist but shared an office with optometrists who work on this.
